Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape,, 1985. Later impression, inscribed by the author on half-title, "To Adam, Love Roald Dahl". The book was first published in 1984; this is the first reprint. In his autobiographical collection of stories from childhood, Dahl includes his fondness for confectionery, his Norwegian ancestry, and his loathing for most schoolteachers. Octavo. Original blue boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. With black and white photographic illustrations throughout the text and on illustrated endpapers. Extremities a little bumped and soiled, minor foxing to edges; jacket a little rubbed at extremities, price-clipped but with publisher's price sticker (£7.95): a very good copy in a near-fine jacket.
Sinopsis
The remarkable story of Roald Dahl's early years at school and with his family. Like his stories, Dahl's childhood tales are unmissable. This edition has a great new Quentin Blake cover and a new end section of facts about Roald Dahl.
